Sketchbook Page - Jellyfish

The other night I drew a couple of jellyfish in my sketchbook using Sharpie marker and watercolor paint. I've been wanting to do some kind of a painting of jellyfish ever since I took a few interesting photos of them at the National Aquarium in Baltimore in their Jellies Invasion exhibit last summer. I haven't been able to decide between acrylic or watercolor paint, so I was using sketchbook experimentation to try and decide.

The idea of being stung by jellyfish definitely freaks me out a bit, but there is no denying that I find them beautiful in an almost hypnotic way when they are swimming.

About Me

Welcome to my sketch blog! Here you can find sketches, paintings, various artistic output, and things I find inspiring. I'm a full-time high school art teacher as well as a freelance artist. I don't have a set posting schedule - posting tends to be more sporadic when school is in session, more frequent when it's not.

There's a pretty good mix of things posted here, from my own personal art, projects for my students, random DIY crafts, and more, so enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!
